Valve Stem Replacement
Has anyone ever changed a rear tire valve stem without removing thewheel? I have a lowered Lowrider with Mag Rims. I would appreciate any advice.My Denim jacket wasn't bungied tight enough and got caught inthe rear wheel and bent the heck out of the valve stem...enough where I have toadjust the schrader when I eitherfill it with air or check for pressure.I was lucky it didn't lock therear wheel. Lesson learned!

RE: Valve Stem Replacement
Thanks, John & Silverearl...I know the Stem needs to inserted from the inside...I was wondering if anyone has ever left the tire on, broke the bead, pull the tire to the side, & installedthe stem, aired up the tire and ride away. Soundsalmost as much as a pain as taking thewheel off the bike.
